FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Sixth Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards, after the draft finalized by the Paints, Varnishes and Related
Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical Division
Council.
This standard was first published in 1949 and since then it has been revised
five times in 1955, 1961 (and arso reprinted in 1969), 1978 (also reprinted in
1984), 1994 and 2004. Considering the likelihood of variation in the
instrumental values with the earlier version, the Committee decided that new
version ofIS 5 shall be sixth revision and to print fresh instrumental values in
this version. The approximate 'Munsell' values in terms of hue, lightness value
graduation (value) and chroma are given in Table I. The colourimetric values
in terms of trichromatic syst~m are also given in Table I.
An explanation of the 'Munsell' system of colour references and glossary of
colcur terms is given in Annex A. The definition 'L', 'a' and 'b' - three
dimensions of Uniform eTE colour space have been given in Annex A. 'L'
stands for lightness, 'a' denotes redness/greenness and 'b' indicates yellowness/
blueness.
The composition of the Committee responsible for the formulation of this
standard is given in Annex B.
In the preparation of this revised standard substantial assistance was provided
in the measurement and checking of colour values by Mis Jay Instruments
and Systems Pvt Ltd, Mumbai and active collaboration of the panel of referees
comprising of experts from National Test House, Kolkata; Mis Berger Paints
India Ltd, Kolkata; Mis Shalimar Paints Ltd, Kolkata; Mis Asian Paints Ltd,
Mumbai and Mis Kansai Nerolac Paints Ltd, Mumbai in matching of colour
shades, which are thankfully acknowledged.

GLOSSARY OF COLOUR TERMS AND THE 'MUNSELL' SYSTEM
A-I DEFINITIONS
A-t.t Achromatic Sensations - Visual sensations devoid of the attribute of

A-l.6.1 That characteristic of visual sensation which enables the observer to
distinguish differences in the quality ofthe sensation ofthe kind which can be

solid of surface colours by samples, spaced at equal sensation intervals and, therefore, the
closest correlalion with the subjective variable, which are chroma, lightness (called value)
and hue.

weaker).
A-1.30 Stronger - A difference apparently due to the presence of more
colour than in the original sample.
A-1.31 Subtractive Mixture - The mixture of absorbing media or the
superposition of filters so that the composition of the light stimulus passing
through the combination is determined by the simultaneous or successive
absorption of parts of the spectrum by each medium present.

A-2 THE 'MUNSELL' SYSTEM

A-2.1 In the 'Munsell' system, the colours are specified in tenns of hue, value
and chroma.
A-2. 1.1 Hue - It distinguishes red from blue, green from yellow, etc and is
denoted by letter (for example, R for red, BG for blue-green) with prefix
numbers, namely, 2.5,7.5, or 10. If, for example, the R (red) number is greater
than 5, the colour inclines, to the yellow-red (YR), and if the R number is less
than 5, the colour inclines to red-purple (RP), and so on round the hue circle.
A-2.1.2 Value - It is related to lightness or darkness of a colour and is quoted
as ranging from 0 to 10; the low figures represent the darker colours and
finally black (0), the high figures represent the light colours and finally white
(10). A rough estimate of the reflectance as a percentage is given by the fonnula
V (V-I), where V is the 'value'. Thus, colours of similar values have similar
reflectance.
A-2.1.3 Chroma-Attribute ofa visual sensation which permits ajudgement
to be made in the amount of pure chromatic colour present, irrespective of the
amount of a chromatic colour.
It is strength of colour and is based on a scale from neutral grey (-10) towards
full strength at any given 'value' level. Steps are denoted numerically at even
intervals.
A-2.1.4 Chromaticity Coordinates - Ratio of each of the three tristimulus
values to their sum. It indicates the colour quality of the sample and
recommended symbols are x, y and z in the CIE 1931 standard Colourimetric
System and xl 0, ylO and zl 0 in the ClE 1964 Supplementary Colourimetric
System.

x, Y and Z are the tristimulus values in the CIE 1931 Standard Colourimetric
System and XI0, YI0 and Z10 in the CIE 1964 Supplementary Colourimetric
System.
x + y + z = 1 and xID + ylO + zID = I
Illuminant D65-Average north sky daylight with colour temperature 6 500 K.
'L', 'a', 'b', - Three dimensions of uniform CIE colour space, 'L' stands for
lightness, 'a' denotes redness/greenness and 'b' indicates yellownesslblueness.
10 degree observer - Standard CIE observer recommended wherever colour
matching conditions exceeds 4 Deg. Field of view.
A-2.1.5 Tristimulus Value - Amounts of the three reference or matching
stimuli required to give a match with the colour stimulus considered, in a
given trichromatic system.
The symbols recommended for the tristimulus values are X, Y and Z in the
CIE 1931 Standard Colourimetric System and XIO, YI0 and ZIO in the CIE
1964 Standard Colourimetric System.
A-2.1.6 Luminance Value - The emission by matter of electromagnetic
radiation which for certain wavelengths or restricted regions of the spectrum
is in excess of that due to the thermal radiation from the material at the same
temperature is defmed as Luminance.
The ratio of the luminance of a body while illuminated and observed under
certain conditions to that of perfect defuser under the same conditions.
A-2.1. 7 Method a/Determination a/Chromaticity Coordinates - The value of
reflectance is measured for the sample over a circular area of8 mm in dia over
a wavelength range of360 to 740 nm at 10 nm interval. The "Minolta CM 3220 D"
colour matching system is used for determining the reflectance values.
A-2.2 A complete 'Munsell' reference for a colour, for example, 7.5 R, 9/2
means:
a) Hue of7.5 R denoting a red inclined towards yellow-red,
b) Value 9 denoting a very light colour, and
c) Chroma 2 indicating that the strength of the colour is low.
A broad description of the colour would, therefore, be 'pale-pink'.
A-2.3 It should be noted, however, that neutral greys, having no hue or chroma,
are denoted by the value figure prefixed by 'N', for example, 'N6' or 'N8'
A-2.4 In the design ofthe colour range 'Munsell' references provide the means
of defining the various categories of colour required.
